Will fleece-lined leggings keep you warm?
Yes, fleece-lined tights are a fantastic option to keep warm this winter. Layered under light shell pants for extra warmth or worn on their own, the snuggly activewear is perfect for hitting the slopes (under ski pants), partaking in outdoor sports and activities, or even just lounging around the house.

Can you wash fleece leggings?
While you should always check the care label on your garment, generally, fleece leggings can be machine washed in a cold cycle with similar colours (do avoid bleach or fabric softeners). Hanging your fleece leggings to dry instead of opting for the dryer will also help with the longevity of the pants.

What is the warmest material for fleece leggings?
Thermal wool or thermal polyester are common manufacturer choices. While wool is warmer, polyester is more lightweight. Both are excellent choices for winter.
